It looks like we won’t be losing the Mysterio’s anytime soon.
This Monday on RAW, we saw the return of Dominik and Rey Mysterio to the red brand. They would make their return saving Mustafa Ali from Veer Mahaan, taking down the monster heel together. Reports had been swirling for sometime that we may see the WWE split the father-son tag team.
Dave Meltzer discussed the team on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. It was noted that WWE has teased a split between Rey and Dominik several times.
“Even when Aliyah was around when they were doing the tension between Rey and Dominik all the time and then they just dropped the ball every single time and just forget about it and everything. They probably set up the split like three or four times. I know that they were told this time, when Rey took the time off to get stem cell and they did the injury angle with Dominik, that, ‘You know, we’re going to have Dominik go on his own,’ which they’ve said before that they were going to do that.”
“But, the problem is that Dominik on his own… He’s going to be dead. Rey will always be over because he’s Rey Mysterio but I don’t know that they will ever really do anything with him because between the size and the age… People will always pop for him and you can always do something with him, but it’s like, do you really think that they’re going to have Rey beat Veer Mahaan? I mean, I don’t anticipate they are.”
“Rey’s job is to be the underdog and fight gallantly and losing to these guys. That’s the role they have him in and that’s just the deal.”
